Holy s*** this is bad. You think it's bad and then it just gets worse. A former high school hockey player is alleging that the Blackhawks old video coach provided alcohol/gave oral sex to him without consent when he was 16. The same video coach was accused by a 2010 Blackhawks player of masturbating/watching porn in front of him and sending him inappropriate messages, which the team said was the PLAYERS fault and tried to sweep under the rug. Said video coach was convicted in 2013 of a completely different crime which involved a underage student in Michigan. What the actual f***? https://www.tsn.ca/lawsuit-alleges-blackhawks-gave-sexual-abuser-positive-reference-letter-1.1648243 A former high school hockey player who alleges he was sexually abused by a former Chicago Blackhawks coach is suing the National Hockey League franchise for allegedly providing a positive employment reference to the coach despite knowing he was a sexual predator. The plaintiff, who is referred to as “John Doe (2)” in court documents, alleges that former Blackhawks video coach Brad Aldrich, who no longer works for the franchise, sexually assaulted him on March 6, 2013, when Aldrich was an assistant coach on a high school team in Houghton, Mich., and the plaintiff was a 16-year-old player. “At an end of season gathering for the players, Aldrich provided alcohol to the then minor plaintiff and performed oral sex on the plaintiff without his consent,” the six-page lawsuit says. The lawsuit was filed on May 26 in Cook Circuit Court in Chicago. The plaintiff is seeking damages in excess of $50,000. Blackhawks spokesman Adam Rogowin declined to comment. "As this is a pending litigation matter, it would be inappropriate for us to comment," he wrote in an email to TSN. The lawsuit was filed weeks after an unnamed member of the 2010 Stanley Cup-winning Blackhawks team sued the franchise over Aldrich’s alleged behaviour. In that case, the plaintiff, referred to as “John Doe,” alleged Aldrich was watching pornography and began to masturbate in front of the player without his consent in May 2010. The former Blackhawks player also alleged that Aldrich also sent him “inappropriate text messages” and threatened him “physically, financially and emotionally” if he “did not engage in sexual activity.” According to the former NHL player’s claim, the then-Blackhawks player reported Aldrich's alleged misconduct in May 2010 to James F. Gary, the team’s mental skills coach. Gary allegedly convinced the former player that the sexual assault was his fault and had permitted the assault to occur. Referring to the former NHL player's lawsuit, the former high school player alleges that the Blackhawks failed to properly respond to the allegation of sexual assault by Aldrich and failed to investigate, adjudicate and terminate his employment. Instead, the former high school player’s suit alleges the NHL team “Provided positive references to future employers for Bradley Aldrich as a hockey coach despite having knowledge of his sexual assaults and failed to report Bradley Aldrich to any hockey or coaching organizations of oversight.” The former high school player’s lawyer, Susan Loggans, wrote in court documents that the Blackhawks acted “with utter indifference or conscious disregard for the safety of others, including plaintiff.” According to Chicago radio station WBEZ, Aldrich is now 38 and was convicted in 2013 of an unrelated fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct involving a student in Michigan. It’s unclear whether that student is “John Doe (2).” Aldrich is a registered sex offender in Michigan, WBEZ reported.

I have no idea what Scheifele was thinking there. He's not typically a dirty player or even someone who throws the body. I'd like to say it just happened quickly and it was a mistake but he had his head up the whole way and had every intention of throwing a hit there. Again.. Not sure what he was thinking. Brutal play.

Lol he started winding up at the other goal crease. If this isn't charging, I don't know what is Ah, Laika already posted this. Great minds

Jose Devers is awful lol. Just go after him

Strasburg is sitting 89 with his fastball, already had the trainer visit in the first inning, and visibly grimacing after every pitch, and the Nats are just keen to let him pitch through it.

deGrom is doing unspeakable things to the Diamondbacks. Dude randomly painted a curveball - his first time throwing a curveball this year. He must be getting bored and wants to try new things.

They can't use 40 man roster players and can only use minor league players with permission from the parent team. So I'm not sure what you would expect

Holy f***

Jesus Christ. The Avs are making Vegas look like fools. This is insane.

Its difficult to imagine anyone beating Colorado in a 7 game series this year.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna was arrested on Saturday on felony assault charges. He initially stood accused of choking his wife and throwing her against a wall. On Sunday, additional troubling details regarding the alleged incident emerged. According to an affidavit obtained by WSB-TV in Atlanta, Ozuna’s wife “told police that she and her husband were having an argument over infidelity before he choked her and threw her against a wall.” Ozuna’s wife further told authorities that she was mid-shower when her husband came into the bathroom, took both of her cellphones and refused to give them back after she confronted him. “He threatened to kill her and she threatened to call 911,” the affidavit said. “She took his cellphone from a table and called 911.” The affidavit then went into grislier details. “She told the 911 operator that said accused was coming back and grabbed a large kitchen knife from a drawer,” it read. “Accused re-entered the house via the garage door and into the kitchen where she was. He continued to yell and verbally abuse her. Therefore, said accused held the knife by her hip and warned said accused that if he got closer, she was going to hurt him.” Ozuna’s wife’s then reportedly attempted to retrieve her phones once more, but failed. “Accused then brought his hand down and punched her in the back of the hands with the cellphones (that he held in his right hand),” according to the affidavit. “Accused then pushed his left hand and forearm (which was in a hard cast) against victim’s face pushing her back and mushing her in the face with it several times.” Things only got worse from there. “Victim stated that said accused grabbed her by her throat by wrapping his fingers around,” an investigator wrote in an arrest affidavit. “He then held her up against the wall, preventing her from breathing.” The alleged assault is said to have ended as soon as police arrived. It remains to be seen how Ozuna’s team and, ultimately, Major League Baseball, respond to this incident. The Braves placed Ozuna on the injured list a few days ago with two broken fingers from a wayward slide. The 9-year veteran recently re-signed with Atlanta after a 2020 season in which he finished sixth in National League MVP voting. The MLB will almost certainly place Ozuna on the restricted list over this incident. From there, time will tell on how things will advance.

You dumb f***

This is why you were fired, dork

This is the kind of loss that sinks a season. Prepare for a 10 game losing skid Every player for themselves at this point. Thhe manager doesn't care about winning so why should the players. Play for your stats Play for your contracts

The game has been over for 45 mins and I still can't believe how absurd that was. I agree with whoever said that Charlie must have had money on the Indians Just completely pissed away a win and a series sweep

I've never seen anything like this. If there's ever a fireable offense, this one is it

Reminds me of when Montoyo left Ken Giles in when he was throwing 87 MPH meatballs against Tampa that one time. Dude is clueless

It was a great run.

I'm talking about the broadcast, not the fans.

The production value of KBO broadcasts compared to MLB broadcasts is hilarious. It's like watching a game 20 years in the future.

I dunno, this one still feels different. It's going to be tough to come back from the police walking in on you strangling your wife and then slamming her against a wall.

Domingo German also assaulted his wife at a team function and is somehow still playing for the same team it happened with. Odubel Herrera. Julio Urias was arrested for shoving a woman in a parking lot, but the charges were dropped and the woman denied he shoved her.

You don't see how the police walking in on Ozuna slamming his wife against the wall and hitting her is different than the Osuna and Chapman situations?

Womp womp. Good chance he's played his last MLB game?

Ozuna's wife was arrested for DV about a year ago, so it doesn't seem like a good situation for either of them: https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/mlb/miami-marlins/article243309611.html
